France Moves to Classify X as an Adult Site Amid Digital ID Crackdown (reclaimthenet.org)

France is moving to classify X as a pornographic website, a designation that would place it under the country’s mandatory age verification and digital ID laws.

This step, if finalized, would force the company to either implement robust age-gating mechanisms or restrict access to adult content altogether to avoid being cut off from younger users.

It would also mean that users have to show ID to access the platform, introducing major implications for privacy and free speech.

I can't remember a single self-proclaimed "Communist" nation that wasn't anti-Religion.

Besides historical trends and stuff (like how push to literacy denied religion it's power), 'communist' governments directly competed with religion on the ideological table.

Soviet people were given an afterlife-like myth of finally building the communism via socialism, for example, Lenin was a handy translation of Jesus, and so on. All pieces felt into existing sockets, that's how it worked out. It's a win for however found that conversion of ideas for the masses.

(I tolerate faith, I hate religious institutions)
